Thanks for the link.

I read all of it. From what I got out of the read is if a person gets the short form don't add any other illnesses to it simply to keep it from being put in a humans hands and then have room for error. After all, if a person gets ssdi their amount/benefits are the same whether they get it for depression and anxiety..........or derpression, anxiety and ocd. I can understand that now.

BUT

Correct me if I am wrong:

If a person gets the long form they should add any illnesses that the ssa does not already know about.

For example (my case):

I am on ssdi for affective disorders. But my chronic pain from my back issues are not in my ssa file because they happened after I originally became disabled.

So, in the case of a long form I should add the additional info?


Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I know most may know the answer but I am just wanting to make sure I'm on the same page with ya.

Again, thanks!
